Intro:
DABmGABmDABmGABmBm
I have seen the ghost of old King Richard
AAABm
Walking through the hall as if he were alive
Bm
And with such an air of pain and sorrow
AAABm
Trying to get back to the other side
Bm
I have heard the tale of when King Richard
AAABm
Was granted a relic of the Holy Cross
Bm
But from him 'twas stolen when in prison
AAABm
Now he's greaving for the loss
EmBm
Oh a lack a day
ABm
May good fortune come his way
EmBm
Oh a lack a lee
AAABm
May his spirit rest in peace
Bm
I have seen the sword of old King Richard
AAABm
Hanging with a scabbard at the fireside
Bm
Such a mighty blade of Spanish silver
AAABm
Keen and flashing in the firelight
Bm
I have read the words of old King Richard
AAABm
Standing at the walls of Jerusalem
Bm
When he raised his voice to exhort his people
AAABm
Ready for the battle with the Saracen
EmBm
Oh a lack a day
ABm
May good fortune come his way
EmBm
Oh a lack a lee
AAABm
May his spirit rest in peace
EmBm
Oh a lack a day
ABm
May good fortune come his way
EmBm
Oh a lack a lee
AAABm
May his spirit rest in peace
